FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION

The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College

Recruitment and Retention

bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner

bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students

bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation

bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College

bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students

Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources

bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found

bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group

bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities

bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely

contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa

bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language

The State Department of Education

bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools

Employment of Allplnos In the Professions

bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education

bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading

bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi

bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees

RelaUons between Philippine and US Instttutkgtns ot Htgher Education

bull Students from Philippine colleges and universrtles who anerct to transfer ermer to undergraduate or graduate programs in the University system eocoouer drfficlJbes ltl having their previously earned cred its accepted by the tJniversity A primary concern is lhe evalualJOll process 01the Eng ~sh competency 01 noeoanve EngliSh speakers

bull Filipinos now second-largest racial group In Hawaii _JurI 15 2011929PMHST UpdaOCt Jutgt 1520111112 PM HST

By Ben Gutierrez - I

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii

Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010

There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo

First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965

Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase

Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased

bull

bull

Avelina Dulay

24 percent from the 2000 Census

Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past

The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency

Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up

But that is different now with her children

Benedith Venture

They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said

Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity

I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said

-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added

Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy

There Wlll only one other change in he listof he ten largest racial groups in Hawsbull MafShallese wno didn show up In the 2000 census were the tenltHargest group in 2010 displacing Tongans to eleventh-largest

The inrnediatereason for convening the Task Force was to address the Iong-standong need of the Aipino conmrity to have greaterand more eltptable access to higher eckJCation il the StateThs is a priority interest of Fifipinos because of their substantiallJlderrepresentatJon 11 tvgher eweaUon a SItuation that is related to their low socioeconomic status in Hawaii SIlce theI arrivalover eighty years ago as plantation laborers RipOOs have not been able 10 benefit adeQuatety from the educational system They have remained one of the most socioeltorlOmicly and pokbcally disadvantaged ettnc grQl4gtS me State of Hawari

FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION

The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College

Recruitment and Retention

bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner

bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students

bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation

bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College

bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students

Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources

bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found

bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group

bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities

bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely

contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa

bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language

The State Department of Education

bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools

Employment of Allplnos In the Professions

bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education

bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading

bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi

bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees

RelaUons between Philippine and US Instttutkgtns ot Htgher Education

bull Students from Philippine colleges and universrtles who anerct to transfer ermer to undergraduate or graduate programs in the University system eocoouer drfficlJbes ltl having their previously earned cred its accepted by the tJniversity A primary concern is lhe evalualJOll process 01the Eng ~sh competency 01 noeoanve EngliSh speakers

bull The Center for Philippine StudieS is severely lIlderstatfed Currently the Center has only one permanent halHIllIe POSlOOn

FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION

The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College

Recruitment and Retention

bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner

bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students

bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation

bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College

bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students

Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources

bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found

bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group

bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities

bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely

contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa

bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language

The State Department of Education

bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools

Employment of Allplnos In the Professions

bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education

bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading

bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi

bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees

RelaUons between Philippine and US Instttutkgtns ot Htgher Education

bull Students from Philippine colleges and universrtles who anerct to transfer ermer to undergraduate or graduate programs in the University system eocoouer drfficlJbes ltl having their previously earned cred its accepted by the tJniversity A primary concern is lhe evalualJOll process 01the Eng ~sh competency 01 noeoanve EngliSh speakers

bull Filipinos now second-largest racial group In Hawaii _JurI 15 2011929PMHST UpdaOCt Jutgt 1520111112 PM HST

By Ben Gutierrez - I

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii

Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010

There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo

First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965

Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase

Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased

bull

bull

Avelina Dulay

24 percent from the 2000 Census

Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past

The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency

Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up

But that is different now with her children

Benedith Venture

They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said

Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity

I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said

-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added

Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy

There Wlll only one other change in he listof he ten largest racial groups in Hawsbull MafShallese wno didn show up In the 2000 census were the tenltHargest group in 2010 displacing Tongans to eleventh-largest

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii

Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010

There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo

First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965

Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase

Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased

bull

Avelina Dulay

24 percent from the 2000 Census

Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past

The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency

Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up

But that is different now with her children

Benedith Venture

They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said

Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity

I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said

-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added

Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy

There Wlll only one other change in he listof he ten largest racial groups in Hawsbull MafShallese wno didn show up In the 2000 census were the tenltHargest group in 2010 displacing Tongans to eleventh-largest

By Ben Gutierrez - I

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii

Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010

There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo

First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965

Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase

Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased

Avelina Dulay

24 percent from the 2000 Census

Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past

The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency

Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up

But that is different now with her children

Benedith Venture

They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said

Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity

I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said

-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added

Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy
